Fayetteville
In 1739, settlers from the highlands of Scotland arrived via the Cape Fear River. The area grew as a center of government and commerce because of its location as inland port and the hub of the early "Plank Roads" system, key to overland travel from the 1840s to 1850s.
Known throughout its history for its cultural diversity and the military presence of Fort Bragg, today the Fayetteville area stands testament to its proud and rich past.1
